30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS  (13+) WDC's Longest Running Blog Competition - Hiatus #1786069 by Fivesixer

PROMPT: November 30th - Congratulations on making it to the last day of the competition! What was your favorite prompt from the last month? Did you learn anything new about your fellow competitors? What was the most rewarding aspect of participating in the competition?

My favorite prompt was the November 24 prompt: What numbers hold special meaning for you? Consider dates, times, ages, years, or anything else you can count. "9, 18, 19. and 95" . In the past several years I've acquired a fondness of number. I wasn't crazy about numbers when I was in school, not even in college. However, once I left the academic environment, I begin liking number. I could be a mental exercise I've acquired. I add the number (in my head) of car tags together until I end up with a sing number between 1 and 9.

I'm not sure when I acquired this habit, it could have been the results of something I read about keeping my mind active. It's now gone beyond car tags to addresses. When I'm riding the paratransit bus I add the number of the address on a building together to come up with a single number.
